Dale Robertson is the typical American entrepreneur in the old west: he wins a bankrupt railroad in a poker game then swindles his way to completing it. He does it all in style, with a private railroad car decked out in luxury and the women falling over him. This made-for-TV movie seems to glorify everything he stands for, never showing how it might effect the workers he never paid, the bank he ripped off, etc. Oh well, you can always try to spot future stars or guest stars of Star Trek.
